I've used QTR on two Epson 1160s with Piezotone and currently an Epson 890 with UT2 
inks.

I've never made profiles from scratch - with the 1160s I would tweak supplied profiles by 
hand - changing values in the file. Read the "GettingStarted" file for more info on what the 
numbers mean. 

With the Epson 890 and UT2 inks I had Roy linearize profiles for my printer as I didn't have 
a densitometer and wanted the best profiles possible. Roy charged me and I was willing to 
pay for it. It was the best bucks I spent on B+W printing.

As QTR becomes more popular there will be more profiles to share where all that will be 
needed is a tweak here or there.

The one weaknesses with QTR is the instructions are a little confusing on building a profile 
from scratch. Having Roy help me with my profiles really cleared my understanding of the 
process better. I'm sure all of us on this list can help you through the process. Roy has 
excellent email support also.

Best,
